Definitions
- This invention relates to practice golf putting and chipping greens. More particularly, it refers to a multi-sectional polymeric putting and chipping green wherein sectional polymeric panels are held together by mechanical locking features.
- the U.S. Patent 3,735, 988 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention of this application is a device according to claim 1.
- the practice green 10 is a curved unit having multiple panels mechanically locked together.
- Each panel 12, 14, 16, 18 and 24 is a polymeric unit having a first planar top surface portion 25 and an integral grid bottom portion 40.
- Each panel has a cup 20 for receipt of putted golf balls and a ball remover stand 22 or a plug 27.
- the inside panel 24, as well as panels 12, 14, 16, and 18 have a tongue and groove locking mechanism as seen in FIG. 3 .
- Each panel has tongues 26 on each side 52 opposite an adjacent panel.
- a slot 28 is formed by attaching a filler plate 30 to a flange 32 on a bottom surface 34 of the panel. See FIGS. 4 , 5A and 5B .
- Each panel has a cup 20 as seen in FIGS. 5C-E .
- a collar 42 sits on a flange 43 inside the cup 20.
- the bottom portion 41 of flag stick 22 sits in the cup 20 inside of collar 42. If a cup is not needed for a particular panel, then a plug 27 is inserted on flange 43 so that the top surface 47 of the plug 27 is contiguous with planar surface 25 of the panel.
- any of the side panels can have an optional raised edge or bump rail 36 molded into the panel as seen in FIGS. 6 - 9 .
- the putting green 10 is set on a sand bed outside over soil 39 as seen in FIG. 1B , it can be feathered in at its non-raised edges with the adjacent grass so that the practice green can be used to direct chips towards the flags 22.
- the putting green 10 can take various shapes depending on the number of panels employed and the configuration of the panels employed.
- the square panels 12 or 24 are approximately 34 inches square.
- the 34 inch square panels have about a 2.25 inch deck height and larger 44 inch square panels have about a 3.0 inch deck height. By using these panels a complete series of eighteen holes can be configured with different outside shapes.
- the simulated grass 38 fits into the bottom edge of the bump rail 36 to give a clean putting surface.
- the simulated grass 38 outer edge is covered with soil 39.
- a series of contiguous raised pads 37 can be placed intermediate surface 25 on the panel and the simulated grass 38.
- the grid structure 40 integral with the flat top 25 of panel 24 supports the panel as seen in FIGS. 5A and 5B .
- the panels with the tongue 26 and groove 28 configuration are attached to adjacent panels by first sliding the panel 24 in the direction shown by the arrow in FIG. 10 and thereafter in the direction shown by the arrow in FIG. 11 .
- screws 44 can be threaded through bores 46 in top surface 42 and through complimentary bores 48 in tongue 26 to prevent the panels from disengaging.
- Pegs 45 can be driven through holes 46 into the turf or sand below the panel.
- FIG. 13 A first alternate locking mechanism is seen in FIG. 13 wherein rods 50 project from a side surface 52 of panel 24.
- a dowel 50 is inserted into a side slot 54 in an adjacent panel and a peg 44 is inserted through bore 46 on a top surface of the panel and through a bore 56 in rod 50 to lock the panels together and prevent disengagement.
- each panel has a top lip 58 and a bottom lip 60 that interlock with a complementary bottom and top lip, respectively.
- the panels are held together by a star tongue 62 that fits into triangular slots 64 at the meeting point of four panel corners.
- FIG. 15 shows a third alternate locking mechanism.
- a cammed S-hook 66 is mounted in a side slot 68 of a polymeric panel side 52. By turning an allen wrench, after sides 52 are brought together, the S-hook engages a back edge in opposite slot 68. Each side 52 has one S-hook and one slot 68.
- a platform panel 70 can be joined to an end of a practice green 10 to provide a stand for putting as seen in FIGS. 16-17 .
- Each polymeric panel unit 12, 14, 16 18, and 24 is compression molded, blow molded or injection molded with a grid structure 40 on a bottom portion integral with a planar top surface 25.
- Other types of molding of the polymeric panels that can be used include low pressure flow molding, rotational molding, structural foam injection molding vacuum forming and reaction injection molding.
- Synthetic turf or carpet made of wool fibers or polymer fibers can be used for the simulated grass surface 38 of the putting training green 10 and is laid point to point at the base of the raised edges 36.
- the polymer employed in the molding and creation of the polymeric panels 12, 14, 16, 18 and 24 can be any of the high strength polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene and copolymers thereof and structural foams such as made from polyurethane. Fiberglass filled reinforcement strands are added to the polymer to increase strength.
- the contiguous raised pads 37 are joined together from raised pads 72, 74, 76 or 78 as seen in FIGS. 18-30 .
- These raised pads have bottom pegs 80 which can be inserted into bore 82 in any of the panel surfaces 25 to provide contour instead of the usual planar surface 25 on the panels.
- These pads 72, 74, 76 or 78 are placed under the simulated grass 38 over the panels to provide an additional putting challenge to the golfer and more realistically simulate an actual putting surface.
- the pads have a bottom shallow grid surface 84 and downwardly descending pins 80 to engage holes 82 on the panels. Cut outs 86 on the pads can be used to accommodate cups 20.
- the raised pads are molded in the same manner as the panels and from the same materials.
- a fourth alternative polymeric edge panel 90 is shown in FIGS. 31-35 .
- Panels 90 have an upright facing side step 92 and downward facing side step 94.
- Steps 94 contain a downwardly pointing convex projection 100 on lower surface 102.
- Steps 92 contain a concave dimple 96 on upper surface 98 as shown in FIGS. 32 and 33 .
- the adjacent panels 90 are slid together to engage a convex projection 100 in concave dimple 96.
- a pry bar 97 is inserted in side slot 99 in order to disengage adjacent panels 90 as shown in FIG. 34 .
- the locking mechanism employed as described for panels 90 can be also employed as shown in FIG. 35 to lock a back section 122 of a putting green to lengthening panel sections 124.
- Bumper rails 116 are attached to the sides of panels 122 and 124.
- a thin rubber mat 130 about one eighth inch thick can be inserted under the grass layer 38 to provide a contour to the putting green.
- a higher contour can be achieved by a second rubber mat 132 on top of 130.
- FIGS. 36-40 An alternative locking mechanism for panels 90 according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 36-40 . Bores 104 are drilled in the top surface of panels 90 above each downwardly facing step 94 and bores 110 are drilled in the top surface of each upwardly facing step 92. A screw 108 as shown in FIGS. 36-38 is threaded through bores 104 and 110 to join panels 90 together. Nipple projection 112 is guided into indentation 114 to join the corners of panels 90 together as shown in FIG. 36 . An alternative screw 120 and insert 118 as shown in FIGS. 39 and 40 can be substituted for screw 108 shown in FIGS. 37-38 to join panels 90 together. It will be within one having skill in the art to make modifications without departing from the scope of the underlying inventive concept of this portable golf putting and chipping training green as defined by the appended claims.
